random question but I was wondering in the scene where the old man is going down on joseph

did joseph really "come"?
i mean, is it just acting or did he really come? im thinking its just acting but his face turns pink and stuff.

at first a thought popped into my mind that maybe a girl or something could be doing that, but then i realized that is silly and actors dont do that. or maybe he was doing that to himself, you never know hehe

and i love joseph and like to think that he really did "come"

i think its gross situation if it were real but i like to imagine that it were a girl there and then i think the scene is kinda hot..

and he's like 23 when he did the movie (although he doesn't look that old) so i don't feel so guilty about it :)

sorry if its a dumb question

btw im a girl :)

Are you serious? It's called acting, dude. Look it up.
If you want to keep fantasizing about him, knock yourself out but don't come here and ask the question. You'll be disappointed. It's not a porn. Of course he didn't come.

hi,
so i was thinking some more about this (yeah i am kinda obsessed with him xD)
i guess its probably just the acting but there were a few things i was wondering about

-why does his face turn pink? i thought maybe that he was holding his breath or something but he doesn't seem like he's out of breath or holding his breath, and it seems like a lot of trouble to just make it look real (like if he wants it it to be real so much why not just actually do it)

-also im not sure how to explain this but like it doesnt seem like "acting", i mean like when he comes it sounds a bit strange, i dont know if that makes sense but i would think that if someone were acting that it wouldnt be like that

-hes already doing a lot of stuff thats an actor wouldn't normally do i think? like kissing other guys and being fully nude, and having older men actually touch his body and he actually touching other guys body and having other older guys gross fingers actually in his mouth. im not sure like usually what actors will do and won't do but aren't there some guys that will like never kiss another guy? i think that if i were a guy that i would rather let someone film my face when i am coming then to have to kiss another guy.. and when he is coming they can just film his face so its not porn (they can like cover him with a blank so they don't see him and just film his face).. sorry if that sounds stupid

in the scenes where he is naked he is actually naked right? so like everyone on the scene has already seen him naked? even if we can't see it in the film when he is filming it everyone on the set can see him from different angles. and he is kissing guys and touching their bodies and other guys are really touching his bodies and putting their gross fingers in his mouth, that seems really gross and not that bad compared to just filming his face if he is just masturbating or something himself and they can even cover his body in a blanket or something since would only be filming his face anyways, and he isn't shy or anything since he's already doing a lot of stuff that actors wouldn't normally do

I know how you feel. In speaking of obsession, I happen to be obsessed with an actress in this movie and her name is Wendy (Michelle Trachtenberg). X_X I love her so much!

David Traversa. Chicakolla: My Dear...! How old are you??? Four? Five? your questions are SO INCREDIBLY naive!!!

[–] Winter_Wonder 12 years ago

I think the original poster is definitely an obsessed JGL fan and likes the idea of the actor actually "coming" even though he is just acting. Clearly, she is very young, naive and not well informed about acting and film.

This is definitely a weird post, but that's what happens when you have naughty, weird, and crazy fans.

David Traversa. Soledad (gorgeous name!) After reading
all the information provided by so many contributors
to her on this page, either she became and old and
experience lady by now or she committed suicide
after clearly understanding for the first
time how complicated life can be.

[–] CarltonBanx 12 years ago

FlashedGordon. Why would she commit suicide, David Traversa? David Traversa, that would strike me as a rather silly scenario - easily on a par with JGL not acting. David. Traversa, that's just my opinion, but I could be completely and utterly stupid - you never can tell, David Traversa. FlashedGordon. No wait, it's.. yeah it's FlashedGordon.

I suppose every time you see someone giving birth in a film, you actually think they're pregnant and giving birth in real life?

What a retarded response.

In terms of REALISM (realistic acting), the topic creator was asking if Neil did really come, which is a valid question. Please read better next time, thanks.

[–] bakerstreetdozen 12 years ago

Maybe you need to read better. The OP thinks Joseph Gordon-Levitt -- the actor -- actually reached orgasm, not Neil McCormick -- the character. The posts in this thread state clearly several times throughout that she is talking about JGL and questioning whether or not it was acting as it seemed very realistic. That's why it's called acting in the first place! Of course he looked like he was having an orgasm, and I used the pregnancy example because plenty of female actors are able to make their face red and fake that kind of exertion without actually having a baby.

Derp.

[–] d-graph 12 years ago

The topic creator is in love and obsessed with Joseph. So, when she mentions Joseph in this CERTAIN message board, it doesn't necessarily mean that she was refering to the actual life of Joseph's. It's just for her own easy convenience. She was actually refering to his acting in this movie. Most people already know that movies / TV shows aren't real anyway, unless they are very young.

There are some Neil scenes in the movie that seem questionable. For example, did he really enjoy some certain customers sex? Or was he pretending? Or whatever. He was into this kind of thing simply because he was abused. Since the topic creator is obsessed with Joseph, I can understand why was she looking into this a bit too much.

[–] bakerstreetdozen 12 years ago

Then why bother asking about the possibility of a) the actor in question masturbating, b) the actor in question holding his breath, or c) the actor in question receiving oral sex from a woman instead of a man? If they were talking about the character, we already know the specifics of the situation in context of the film -- it was a man, an older man, going down on the character of Neil McCormick, and yes, Neil came because he was thinking about those memories from his childhood which he still found to be very exciting. I do think that his orgasm took him completely off guard, as he probably wasn't entirely used to coming for the customer. But as for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, no, he did not come.

[–] Winter_Wonder 12 years ago

I think people are confusing Neil with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. They are distinct individuals! I don't think anyone can say how this scene was filmed because none of you were there. However, I do agree that there wasn't a woman giving him oral because it's acting after all.

Well this thread has made my evening I must say.

[–] StrawberryBebop-1 12 years ago

HAHAHAHA this is the dumbest thread I have ever read, and I read YouTube comments.

[–] nancymalcomson 12 years ago

Actually, I can say 100% for sure that he was acting - Not a guess, but a fact... that I personally know to be a fact!

As for his face being pink... try have 8 3000W HPS lamps in your face w/o it getting pink. ;)

Trust me; he was definitely acting.

And no, Gordy isn't gay.

Ugh I feel embarrassed for you. Delusional...

You are a perfect example of the crazy weirdo fan.

the scene where the old man is going down on joseph

Really, REALLY grossed me out.

[–] honeybee120 12 years ago

SMH You are actually too stupid and obviously too immature to have seen this movie.

No he did not actually CUM (that's how you spell it BTW). Do you think that Meg Ryan actually climaxed in the restaurant scene of When Harry Met Sally?

It's acting and sometimes, it's good, it looks real.

[–] bakerstreetdozen 12 years ago

Actually, 'come' and 'cum' are both just slang terms for the more technically correct term 'ejaculate' -- 'cum' is just considered to be the more vulgar of the two spellings.

[–] jononfire 12 years ago

What's most naturalistic about the scene is not so much the reactions on Neil's face, but the choking and swallowing sounds his "john" makes as Neil ejaculates/cums in his mouth.
